Hello,
I am trying to learn how to use Samba. I first just want to get it to work, then I'll make it better. I am not concerned about security since everything is on a private network. I am following the material in "CentOS 6 Linux Server Cookbook" by Jonathan Hobson. I am using two virtual computers with Virtual Box running on Fedora 19. Both virtual computers have bridged networking. One virtual computer is Win7, the other is CentOS 6.4. They are both up to date. There is only one user, "admin", on the CentOS virtual computer.
The Win7 computer can successfully ping the CentOS computer.
My Win7 computer can not see the share on the Samba server.
On some Windows 7 systems (not all in my experience), you'll need to adjust the LAN Manager authentication level. To do this, 1. Launch *gpedit.msc* 2. Then under *Computer Management* drill down to *Windows Settings*->*Security Settings*->*Local Policies*->*Security Options* 3. On the right hand side, scroll down to *Network security: LAN Manager authentication level* and double-click it 4. In the drop down, select *Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated*
I'm not sure sure what exactly causes some *just-built* Windows 7 PC's to require this setting. For instance, on the network I manage, I'd say that 30% of just-built Windows 7 PC's require this settings while others function just fine when it is left as *Not Defined*!
Hope that helps you!
